What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.

The legendary Keith Levene is on the front cover, together with an
interview with him inside.

Doug writes about PFM, John gets enthusiastic about Ryley Walker and Danny
Thompson, while Jon gets all intense about the media fascination with the 1950s,
and reviews a book about the Summer's End festival. Biffo goes to The Brits and
Rosie goes to see Goosebumps. There are radio shows from Strange Fruit, Friday
Night Progressive, Canterbury Sans Frontieres and Mack Maloney, the latest
installment of the saga of Xtul, and columns from all sorts of folk including
Roy Weard, A J Smitrovich, Mr Biffo and the irrepressable Corinna. There is also
a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and pademelons ouyside
zoos(OK, nothing to do with small marsupials who have escaped from captivity,
but I got carried away with things that rhymed with OOOOS) than you can shake a
stick at. And the best part is IT's ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!

All issues from #70 can be downloaded at www.gonzoweekly.com if you prefer.
If you have problems downloading, just email me and I will add you to the Gonzo
Weekly dropbox. The first 69 issues are archived there as well. Information is
power chaps, we have to share it!

SPECIAL NOTICE: If you, too, want to unleash the power of your inner rock
journalist, and want to join a rapidly growing band of likewise minded weirdos
please email me at jon@eclipse.co.uk The more the merrier really.

EXPLORE THE GONZOVERSE

Who, why or what is Gonzo? Why are they blogging? and why should you care?

GONZO MULTIMEDIA is a unique record company bringing you a wide variety of products from a number of renowned artists and record labels, largely spanning rock and pop music from the '60s to today, and the Gonzo catalogue includes 100% exclusive products that are unavailable elsewhere.

WE, THE BLOGGERS are a bunch of disaffected music journalists from beyond the lost horizon. And, like it says at the top of the page, we are still crazy enough to think that music is more than a disposable commodity useful to marketing departments across the world.

Do we think that if we chant loud enough we can stop it raining? Quite possibly.
